Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 7 - Office of the Minister for Finance
Chapter 1 - Exchequer Financial Outturn for 2017
Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (30 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I do not accept what Mr. Moran's saying regarding the liquidation of IBRC. We saw the plenary summons at the time. I think Mr. Tobin unfortunately said that we would have to ask them about their motivation. I did not realise there was a second case. We saw the plenary summons relating to the first case. It was simply looking for accountability. I am not sure if it was Mr. Moran or...

Working Group of Committee Chairmen: Public Policy Matters: Discussion (30 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Go raibh míle maith agat a Chathaoirligh agus cuirim fáilte roimh an Taoiseach. Is iontach an rud é go bhfuilimid ag teacht le chéile sa seomra seo, áit a dhéanann Comhchoiste na Gaeilge, na Gaeltachta agus na nOileán a chuid oibre. Sa comhthéacs sin, tá gá práinneach le Bille teanga oifigiúil a fhoilsiú. An bhfuil dáta...

Working Group of Committee Chairmen: Public Policy Matters: Discussion (30 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Tá sé sin iontach. Comhghairdeas leis an Taoiseach as ucht an éacht atá déanta aige ó thaobh na Gaeilge de.

Working Group of Committee Chairmen: Public Policy Matters: Discussion (30 May 2019)

Working Group of Committee Chairmen: Public Policy Matters: Discussion (30 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Cuirim fáilte roimh freagraí an Thaoisigh maidir le pholasaí do na h-oileáin. Cé gur rud dearfach é sin, níl sé sásúil, beag nó mór, agus ní féidir glacadh leis, an fhreagra nach bhfuil dáta fós don Bhille. Bhí an Coimisinéir Teanga ós ár gcomhair sa seomra seo coicís ó shin agus...

Loss of Biodiversity and Extinction of Species: Statements (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: The extent of biodiversity loss in the context of our declaration of a climate change emergency and the protests of the children on the streets imploring us to do something about climate change before their futures are compromised means that we must move beyond heckling from the corners of this Chamber. It is time to lead, to recognise and to stop the attitude of divide and conquer. I...

Development of Primary Care: Statements (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I welcome the opportunity to participate in this debate, although I wish that rather than statements on primary care, we were getting an update from the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, on the 2001 report, Primary Care - A New Direction, and what parts of it have and have not been rolled out. Primary Care - A New Direction was produced 18 years ago. We were told at that point that...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: My question today relates to child protection and the ongoing inadequacies in that area. We cannot reassure ourselves that children are protected. The Taoiseach will be aware that the national review panel report was published yesterday following a leak. Co-incidentally, on the same day, a report from HIQA confirmed ongoing inadequacies in child protection. The summary report is dated...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I am not one bit reassured by the Taoiseach's answer. It was not a point in time. It did not finish in 2007. It took until 2011 for a second child, who had been regularly raped, to come forward. The first child's allegation was deemed credible and the second child's allegation was deemed credible. I know the Taoiseach is a busy man. Yesterday's report from HIQA in relation to Sligo,...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local and Community Development Programme (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: 38. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development further to Parliamentary Question No. 10 of 8 November 2018, when the review of local community development committees due in quarter 2 of 2018 will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local and Community Development Programme (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: Tá ceist dhíreach simplí agam agus bheinn buíoch as freagra díreach gonta. When will the review of local community development committees, LCDCs, which was due in early 2019, be published? Has it been completed?

Catherine Connolly: Táim buíoch don Aire as sin.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local and Community Development Programme (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: I have been given a date of July this year and I thank the Minister for that. However, it is very disappointing that it has taken this long. The review was set up way back in 2017, when the LCDCs had been in operation for three years. Various replies, from before the current Minister's time, told us it would be 2018 and early 2019 but now it is to be July 2019. Is the Minister certain it...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Local and Community Development Programme (29 May 2019)

Catherine Connolly: It is a bit surreal for the Minister to talk about a robust report. The review was to see if the LCDCs were robust in how they operate on the ground but we are now looking at the review to see if it is robust, almost two years after it was due to report. The Minister will see why I am sceptical about this matter. We all feel that the LCDCs are doing very good work but the review was to see...
